  ABSTRACT: In this paper, Spike-and-Slab Dirichlet Process (SS-DP) priors are introduced and discussed for non-parametric Bayesian modeling and inference, especially in the mixture models context. Specifying a spike-and-slab base measure for DP priors combines the merits of Dirichlet process and spike-and-slab priors and serves as a flexible approach in Bayesian model selection and averaging. Computationally, Bayesian Expectation-Maximization (BEM) is utilized to obtain MAP estimates. Two simulated examples in mixture modeling and time series analysis contexts demonstrate the models and computational methodology.
